A great bathing suit
I love everything about this bathing suit (I got the ruched top with the skirt, as well as the bikini bottoms - all in blue paisley). It fits well, is well-made and looks amazing. I did buy it on sale, so it was an incredible value for the money. Otherwise, it's a bit pricey, more than I typically like to spend. But I do wear it all the time. Now just have to see how long to stays looking good...

Flattering swim skirt
This swim skirt has style and is perfectly matched with the tankini top.

Great swim skirt!
I bought the swim skirt with the matching top. So happy with the purchase. The skirt is, as other reviewers noted, super comfortable. AND, it does not dig in and form a "muffin top."
So glad I got this suit. It's expensive, but worth it.

cute
I am pleasantly surprised at how cute this little skirt is. Not too long or too loose. Just a bit more forgiving than a regular bikini bottom. Not at all 'frumpy'

Excellent bathing suit
I'm gonna love this bathing suit. I just tried it on and I ran downstairs to order another one. I'm a 32DD, 5'2" and about 118 pounds. It's so hard for me to find a top that adequately covers my breasts and yet accommodates my otherwise small frame. The fabric is gorgeous too. I ordered size 8 for the top.

Flattering Fit
This is my 3rd ruched swim skirt from Garnet Hill. Great quality, true to size - and very flattering. Have received many compliments. I alternate wearing this skirt with both the tankini and bandeau tops.

Answer:

We measured our size 12 sample from below the 1-3/4" band to the bottom of the skirt. It measures 10" in the front and 11" in the back. These measurements will vary slightly for smaller or larger sizes.

It clings to the top of the thighs a bit. I have the boyfriend shorts in a 2 which fit perfectly and true to size. I ordered this in a 4 (for ample coverage in a swimsuit), but it still clings...I think it is supposed to fit this way. I still like it though. I would order up if in doubt.
